Week of October 13th

Happy Wednesday Parents:

I sent home Guided Reading binders yesterday.  We will be tweaking everything the first few weeks.  PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD BRINGS THEIR BINDER BACK TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY!  I will be trying to read with them as much as I can.  Some groups will met with daily.

FIELD TRIP IS TOMORROW!!! THURSDAY the 16^th… SAFETY TOWN!!!

If you are planning on coming, please meet us there at 9:30am.  We will be there until a little after 11am. We will have lunch back at school.  Your child can still buy from the cafeteria if they want when we return.  They do not have to have a sack lunch. 

I had a really good Monday talking to all of you!  Please know that I am going to do all I can to make sure each child’s FIRST GRADE year is FUN, CHALLENGING AND SUCCESSFUL!!!

Week of October 6th

I am looking forward to meeting with everyone next Monday.  If you cannot make it, please let me know and I can schedule another day and time with you.   The book fair will be going on in the library all week! 

GUIDED READING- IMPORTANT!

I am asking for my kids to use binders this year for Guided Reading.  I think it will help us keep up with our work.  Please send a 1 inch black or white binder for your child by this Friday if you can.  If not, by next Tuesday at the latest.  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE AN EXTRA BINDER, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TOO!!!
